Pinto: Tuesday, May 31, 2012Yankees 12 vs Dodgers 13 In another nail-biter the Yankees and Dodgers fought each other hard on the Pinto diamond with the lead teetering between these two hitting behemoths. The Yankees put up 5 runs to the Dodgers' 2 in the 1st and 2nd innings. The Dodgers tied the game in the 3rd with a 4 run rally. The Yankees shut down the Dodgers in the top of the 4th. The Dodgers shut down the Yankees in the bottom. The Yankees 5 runned the Dodgers in the top of the 5th. The Dodgers 5 runned the Yankees in the bottom. With the game tied in the 6th inning the Yankees were only able to increase their score by 1. The Dodgers tied them in the bottom of the 6th and then brought one more across the plate to send the Yankees home for the season. Commentary: Rumors around the league have it that Coach Gardner may be considering retirement. If this does turn out to come true, and we hope it doesn't, the WBAC will be losing one of its finest managers. But we're sure he will be involved enough with whatever team Justin lands on in the future to at least help in developing another talented group of players as he moves on to Mustang. |

Rangers 13 vs Cubs 12 Welcome to the Nic Poole show! The Cubs were unable to score more than 6 runs in the 1st 5 innings. Anything hit between 2nd and 3rd or to shallow left field was gobbled up and turned into an out by the Rangers' star short stop Nic Poole (with a lot of support from Christian Townsend at 3rd and Hayden Bolling at 2nd). At the bottom of the 6th the Rangers had a very comfortable 7 run lead over the Cubs at the bottom of their line-up. The Cubs opened up with a triple from Noah Phillips who was able to score, but with only 1 run in, the Cubs found themselves with two outs. And then the hitting frenzy began. Another triple and another run helped close the gap a little more. With the next 2 batters, the Cubs found themselves with the bases loaded and the tying run at the plate. Luke Cavey smashed one to the fence for a base-clearing double, bringing the Cubs within one run of extending the game. Unfortunately, the Cubs luck ran out there. With Luke stranded on 2nd the Rangers infield was able secure their victory and advance as 1 of 4 teams left in the tournament at the end of the day. |
